Advertising agencies self-promotion

Everyday we are bombarded by advertisements. We see this impressive concepts, developed by a bunch of creative individuals that gather themselves in packs named “agencies”. And as I see their work in advertising other entities product and service, I keep wondering: how do they advertise their own services?

If someone would ask you: what design agency would you recommend for this project?

How would they answer the famous questions: why should I work with you?
